Cynthia Kenyon Biography :

Dr. Kenyon is a founder of Elixir, and has served as a director since April 2004. She is currently an American Cancer Society Research Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco. In 1993, Dr. Kenyon's discovery that a single mutation can double the lifespan of the roundworm C. elegans sparked an intensive study of the biology of aging. She and others have now shown that the aging process is not haphazard, but instead is controlled by hormones and transcription factors that coordinately affect age-related disease. Dr. Kenyon has received many awards for her discoveries, and she is a past president of the Genetic Society of America and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences. She is the director of the Hillblom Center for the Biology of Aging at UCSF. Dr. Kenyon holds a B.S. in chemistry and biochemistry from the University of Georgia and a Ph.D. in biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
